About
This is a great walk, which is well worth a full day out with a picnic lunch on the amazing silver sand beach and then finishing with cake and a cup of tea at the café at the Kildonan Museum.
The walk takes in the Flora Macdonald birthplace monument, quiet roads through crofting communities, the outstanding machair of South Uist and a secluded beach. In spring and summer, you will see a multitude of flowers, and probably see and hear many birds too. Many of these have become rare breeders in much of Britain.
